1t is now an open secret that the Gov
,ernor has requested the counsel for the
creditors to state the amount of bonds
his clients can control; that he has cabled
to London to know what they can con-
troll that his clients have replied that
they can now control all that are held in
England, and that as soon as the State
will intimate officially that she is willing
to treat with them upon the basis of a
settlement by which taxes remain what
they are, appropriations remain what
they are, and the balance to 90 to the
creditors, that soon they can control all
She rest wherever held, and they will con-
troll them and bring them in to these
terms and it is further an open secret
that this report has been officially com.
municated to the Governor.
The TIMES is authorized to say that all
the foregoing may be received as au-
thentic.
Need it be added that we conceive
it TO he the course of patriotism to try
to get a peaceful and sensible under
standing between the State and the
creditors instead of helping to manu-
facture prejudice for political capital?
Malone will come out for reputation,
and sweep the State"
Now we see how shallow that idea is
at last. Malone has come out" to be
sure; but he says that he is not for re-
pudiation, or anything like it-all of
which we stated year ago.

THAT OFFER.

We printed on Tuesday last long ex-
tract from the report of the proceedings
of the fourteenth annual meeting Of
the Council of Foreign Bondholders in
London, and repcatcd-what we had so
often said befere-that we failed to find
in it any offer of compromise. The In
deg.AppedI quotes the following resOlu-
ton, which we had published several
times before last Tuesday, as proving
that an offer of compromise has been
made by the States creditors
"That this meeting deplores the long
contest into which the bOndhOlders have
been forced for the maintenance of their
rights, and whilst asserting its steadfast
determination not to accept the Riddle
berger settlement, which, in view of the
admitted ability of Virginia to settle with
her creditors and the sacrifices they have
already made on her behalf, it considers
dishonest and unjust, hereby expresses
its willingness to meet the State and en-
terrain a reasonable compromise based
upon the present taxation and the avail
able revenue after providing for the con-
stitutional appropriation for government,
schools, and other public expenditures"
-DaSpdtch
The Dispatch then proceeds to argue
that the bondholders would wait until
the State abandoned the coercive measure
called the Riddleberger settlement. Well,
let us come squarely to the point: How
can that act be a settlement when the
creditors do not accept it, because to
carry it out would involve a continuation
of the policy of multiplying decisions of
the United States Supreme Court?
The position of the bondholders be-
comes stronger every day, and our own
weaker
In such a difficulty prejudice does not
amount to farthing; and even if it did,
common sense denies that the creditor is
an enemy after he loaned us the money,
just because he wants security for the
debt.

ART AND ARTISTS.

Albert Bierstadt, the landscape painter, has
begun a series Of representations Of Niagara
Falls He made number of studies there
last summer Of parts Of the falls, which he is
painting separately.
The London Court Journal understands
that for CA, 900 all American has purchased
NJ. Yesup's picture Of "Christopher Colum
bus" with the intention OF presenting it to
the Now York museum
Apropos Of the Meissonier picture in the
Stewart collection on exhibition in New York,
here is a bon mot. The artists age is known
TO be 3D. Two ladies pause before the picture
in a critical attitude, one says: "Meissoner,
1907. He must have been very young when
he painted that"
Mr.. John A. Elder, Richmond artist, is
at Beauvoir, Miss, painting a portrait OF
Jefferson Davis 1t represents him standing
in the attitude of speaking, one hand ex-
tended the other resting on the constitution,
lying on the table, on which are his books
and the sword he used in the Mexican war
The celebrated portrait of Goethe, by
Zischbein, painted at Rome in 1886, and the
property Of tho late Baron Charles Roths-
child, OF Frankfort, was bequeathed by him
to his daughter. the Baroness Solomon
Rothschild, of Paris. The baroness has just
presented the picture to the Staedel art inSti-
tute at Frankfort on the Main.
A large bronze casting was successfully
poured off at New York bronze company's
works, lately. The casting was the body of
a horse for an equestrian statue of Gen.
Meade, after a model by Alexander NJ. Cal
der Of Philadelphia The statue is for Fair
mount park, Philadelphia. When completed
it will be sixteen feet high About 1900
pounds Of metal were poured. The flask
weighed twenty tons.

Malone will come out for repudia'
ton, and sweep the State" This was
the refrain of ell the interviews, and all
the attempts at craftsmanship from Dem
ocratic leaders and certain newspapers.
What will they do now for refrain
when the Republicans say that all the re-
pudiation is the idea in the Democratic
party to get ahead Of Malone by cutting
rates with him, and always trying to do
something meaner to catch the popular
tide.
Now we are about to see that this al
Tentative between the Riddleberger set
Element and reputation will divide the
Democratic party if it is pushed, and
then. as we have lost the cohesive power
in the dread that Malone inspired, where
will be the rallying point?
1t is not now as it was when the Radi-
cal ring at Washington held the State
like a mere province, to furnish rotten
borough votes on bsllot-box stufting.
The people no longer dread the Repub
licans, and that is the danger when the
Democratic leaders attempt to force an
issue odious to the best and truest Demo
Gratis we have. But, besides this, is the
nonsense of antagonizing the Fedora
authority and multiplying decisions of the
highest judicial authority.
When our people are brought face to
face with this arbitrary policy they will
recognize an evil whose results would be
more disastrous than the fantastic tales
IF shutting up the schools, which are
rioks but little better than the Malone
'ne of ringing a fire bell to point a
,hyster's lurid theory Of BourbonS burn
ng down school-houses.

THE BALTIMORE & OHIO RAILROAD

One report prevails that the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company is to control
the whole system of roads recently &C
quired by the Terminal Company, in
GLIDING, besides the great B. and O., the
Central of New Jersey, the Philadelphia
and Reading, the Richmond and Danville,
and the East Tennessee, Virginia, and
Georgia lines. A portion of this an
nouncement is yet unconfirmed, but if ii
should be corroborated, it would seem to
contain the biggest railroad management
in the world. But the likelihood is that
Gould and some others have made a grand
combination, and that the b. and O. enters
it to keep from fighting a disastrous con-
test

His New Position.

Senator Malone seems TO have learned,
a lesson taught by affliction, that the
spirit of this country and age is against
Reputation, and against any ''readjus
ment' of debt that looks like reputation
to the creditors. He now makes his
appearance on the stage in new and
more popular role as an anti-repudiation-
ist and one in favor of honest dealing.
The lines are not strictly original with
him in fact, they have been understudied
for good many years by actors who ex-
pect yet to be called before the curtain
and applauded for the excellence of their
performance Washington Post.

sell TO an old clothes man few days ago and
found $3.50 in bills rolled up in sheet OF
note paper Tho squire is confident that the
money is his own, but he has no recollection
Of having placed it in the pocket.
John Monroe, young man living with his
widowed sister in the northern part OF

A young farmer in Des Moines county, Ia,
who had saved up 500 in bank bills, wrapped
a piece OF paper around them and stuck the

it, and when the young man returned to sup

Washington furnishes daily rumor of
an extra session of Congress. There
are some good reasons for calling to-
gether the new Congress-the selection
of Speaker of the House and the APP
pointment of the committees-bu but the
question is whether to call it in the
spring or the fall. The present report
fixes it for October.

A POINT OF HISTORY.

Simon Cameron is SSy years old, and has
celebrated the day that he turned the
point
He says, among other things:
at is true that General Robert f. Lee
was rendered the command of the Union
army. 1t was the wish Of Mr. Lincoln's
administration that as many as possible
of the Southern officers then in the regu-
lar army should remain true to the nation
which had educated them. Robert E. Lee
and Joseph E. Johnston were then the
leading Southern soldiers. Johnston was
quartermaster-g general and Lee a colonel
of cavalry.
al supposed, from what Mr. Blair had
said, that General Lee would certainly
accept labored under this impression
up to the time that his resignation was
received. Whether General Lee ever Sc
riously considered the matter do not
personally know. From what Senator
Blair said to me, never had any doub.
at the time but that he did My surprise
was very great when the resignation was
received and General Lee went South"
